Major Vulnerabilities Discovered and Patched in Realtek RTL8195A Wi-Fi Module
- bjoli 6y agoSo, a firmware update is required to be completely safe. That means the chances of this actually getting fixed on deployed devices are slim to none
- jokoon 6y agoNot sure if related but my wifi chip keeps shutting down for no reason. I run a diagnostics in windows and it seems to fix it everytime. It's not a realtek.
- ranguna 6y agoWhy would you think it's related if it's not a realtek chip ?
- jokoon 6y agoI guess wifi chips are all designed the same way, they all have a firmware.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoCrappy drivers. Happens all the times. Even wired, and even Intel. Solution under Windows: Click on the Symbol in the task bar, go to network & shares, choose the corresponding part, deactivate, wait 2 seconds, reactivate. See the globe spinning, be connected again. Solution under Linux: maybe unnecessary, because quirks are meanwhile autodetected and circumvented if possible.
